Class Poem ® CLEMSON, may you stand the Hast Like some large, stalwart, oak. Which stands the storm when winter comes — Ignores the woodman ' s stroke. And may you east your shadow forth To those within your range — Protect a work of magic worth Which time cannot estrange. And may you like the morning sun. Which driveth night away, Speed on your course with wondrous sheen — Make glad our land to-day. What praises sung or stories told — Though long may be their length — What now alone can estimate Thy influential strength! ' Thy rays of light do emanate. And cause to energize Our aim in life, like s ime strong lens On sunshine focalized; And many, who your shrine can ' t reach, Shall feel your strength so strong. Through lives of those whom you have taught. Your praise to sing in song. Though in thy course the m mntain tops Be bowed to meet the sea. Though in thy course the light of h ipe Shines more intense for thee, And though thy sacred walls shall fall. And crumble into dust. Thy guiding star will ever hold That one grand sacred trust Of lasting force within the hearts Of Clemson men ; to praise. To sing, of all thy glories old, And better future days. H. K SANDERS. 14

If you desire to see him to the best advantage, you should go to his room about time for reveille. He in- tends going to Panama, in the near future, in order to show Uncle Sam how the Canal should be built. Carl Clforb Jlalutoin SIMPSONVILLE, S. C.

A.; Chairman of Religious Meetings Committee. Agriculture and Chemistry Greenville claims the subject of this sketch. Carl or C. E. has been identified with the Y. M. C. A. work. He winks at the professors, and gets horsed out about it. When at leisure, he can be found smoking his pipe, munching vegetables, and building air castles for him- self, and the one girl that has had him in captivity so long — just who, ' tis hard to tell. This breezy youngster will run a big farm, and make a good citizen. r6
